Old Hag Syndrome

[sally2004]

Hi, I'm new to this forum.  The more I read the different posts, the more freaked out I get.

First of all, I've been having flying dreams for a long time.  I love to dream that I'm flying...never knew what they meant until now.

Second, I've been experiencing weird dreams, sometimes they feel evil, since I was about 12.  Fortunately, I've not had one in a while.  I happened to be talking to a co-worker once, and she mentioned her mother suffered from "old hag syndrome."  At the time, I thought she was being rude to her mom   ...calling her "hag."  She went on to describe her mom's dreams.  I was shocked    to find out that I experienced the same type of dreams.  My friend said that her mom called them "old hag syndrome."

I googled "old hag syndrome" and was reading practically word for word what happens in my dream.  It usually starts off with clanging, like a bunch of utensils falling.  Then I hear whispering, followed by pacing.  Sometimes, I'll feel something touch me.  It is very annoying.  When I feel the "presence" to be somewhat evil in nature, I call out to G-d, and I always wake up with my heart beating a 1000x per minute.  Most of the time, I have a problem calling out, like I can't speak.

My husband heard all about Astral Dynamics the other day for the first time, and told me about it.  Since I have experienced weird dreams, I thought I would post my first thread, and try to get some feedback from you.

I appreciate any comments.

I don't know what the part about "old hag" means, but the event that you describe is probably just a sleep paralysis. It's normal that you have problems with speaking then and also feeling of evil presence is absolutely normal. It can be fun if you will not be afraid.
